Are you using a packaged version of MythTV?  If so, which one?

It's likely either a file in /etc/cron.weekly or perhaps a systemd timer.

You can just check out the contents of the /etc/cron.weekly directory if
it's cron based and look for a file that will likely be named something
quite obvious to its function like mythtv-database.  You can check out the
systemd timers using the command 'systemctl list-units -t timer'.
